5 week per game average: 46.37 -- now only about a third of a point below last year's year-end.
- Finally got the Monday nighter to be at least close in the 4th quarter for a while. Still, only five such national prime-time games in five weeks (16 games).
- This week, only three games were non-competitive into the 4th quarter (and two of them were prime-time, the third was the Jets vs. Chargers). Four games were decided in the last two minutes and overtime, with two overtime games (NO over Tampa with a touchdown, Dallas over Houston with a field goal) and two others (Buffalo over Detroit with a 58-yard field goal at :04, after Detroit misses a 50-yarder in the last minute (for which Detroit, today, cut their kicker!!) and Cleveland over Tennessee with a touchdown at 1:09).
- That makes thirteen total games in the five weeks so decided. 63.1% now for the games within 8 points at some point in the final period, with 40.79% decided by 8 or less. Still well below last season (68 and 48, respectively).
- Over was 7-8, 39-47 for the season. If you take partial pushes, over was 7-7-1 for the week, 34-46-6 for the season.
- Home teams 11-4 for the week, 49-26 for the year.
- Home teams were only called for more penalties in the game 4 times out of 15, with one tie. 30 out of 75 for the year.
- Home teams about 5.5 penalties a game. (82 total in 15 games) Visitors got 123 penalties in the 15 games, about 8.2. Think there was a home advantage this week? NAH!!!
- The teams were deadlocked on record on who had more penalties (7-7-1, team with more penalties in the game is now 34-37-5)
- Also deadlocked on Points of Emphasis: 5-5-5. Season, team with more PoE penalties is 31-28-17.
